On 18 August, we commemorate Vietnam Veterans’ Day on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966. We remember the sacrifices of those who died and say thank you to almost 60,000 Australians who served during the 10 years of our involvement in the Vietnam War.
Edward Frederick Robert Bage was a member of the Engineers Rifle Club in Brisbane. He enlisted and served with the 3rd Field Company Engineers in Egypt and at Gallipoli. Captain Edward Frederick Robert Bage was killed in action on 7 May 1915 at Gallipoli.
We must never forget the sacrifices made by Australians during the Great War and all other conflicts that followed. Equally, we must never take for granted the losses suffered by the families that lived on without their loved ones after the various conflicts ended.
